I usu­ally have to be in a very spe­cific mood to watch Ghost World, but some­thing about it is strik­ing a chord with me right now, and this time it’s not just SJs sullen voice. The humour is drier than Rushmore, which says some­thing about the skills of Terry Zwigoff’s as a direc­tor. The risk of unsat­u­rated humour is that it very eas­ily goes unrec­og­nized, espe­cially with­out a laugh track. The last time I watched Ghost World was before I ever saw Mr. Show, so it’s only now that I can really appre­ci­ate David Cross’s cameo performance.

Seymour is my god, cause it’s obvi­ously him and he doesn’t care.
